Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A computer-implemented method of transacting tradeable units representing a noncommodifiable work product (“NCWP”), said method comprising: providing a computing system including a database and a processor; receiving a first NCWP claim into the database from a first user of a plurality of users; determining, with the computing system, a first quantity of units that correspond with the first NCWP claim; generating, with the computing system, the first quantity of units; receiving a second NCWP claim into the database from a second user of a plurality of users; determining, with the computing system, a second quantity of units that correspond with the second NCWP claim; generating, with the computing system, the second quantity of units, wherein each generated unit is equal to each other generated unit; proving a user exchange in the database, and facilitating, with the computing system, transactions of the units amongst the plurality of users within the user exchange; determining, with the computing system, a quantity of units to destroy in response to a request from one of the plurality of users, destroying, with the computing system, said determined quantity of units, and issuing, with the computing system, a proof of claim to said user, said proof of claim representative of said destroyed quantity of units; and maintaining, with the computing system, a ledger of said plurality of units within said database, said ledger accounting for all generated units and all destroyed units; wherein said NCWP claim is associated with a removal of an atmospheric compound from the atmosphere.

2

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said determining the first and second quantities of units includes receiving NCWP data in said database and employing, with the computing system, a set of discount factors to determine said quantities of said units based on said NCWP data.

3

3. The method of claim 2, wherein said destroying said determined quantity of units and issuing said proof includes conferring rights to claim benefits of the NCWP underlying the unit.

4

4. The method of claim 3, wherein said maintaining of the ledger incudes adjusting said ledger to account for destruction and generation of units.

5

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said determining includes validating said NCWP claims and applying said discount factors based on the NCWP data and attestation of said validating.

6

6. The method of claim 5, wherein said determining and said applying discount factors includes applying first discount factors based on the NCWP data prior to validation and applying second discount factors after validation, whereby said application of second discount factors after validation results in an increase in said determined quantity of units.

7

7. The method of claim 5, wherein said applying discount factors is based on said NCWP data submitted with said NCWP claim and data received associated with said validation.

8

8. The method of claim 1, wherein determining said quantities of units is repeated multiple times to generate a population of units, whereby each of said units is based on an NCWP claim and is equivalent to each of said other units.

9

9. The method of claim 8, wherein at least some of said units are assigned to a holder, the method further comprising subdividing, with said computing system, a unit assigned to a holder upon request, and destroying, with said computing system, said unit to remove said unit from said population of units.

10

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising adjusting, with the computing system, the ledger of said population of units to account for destroyed units and units from said subdivision.

11

11. The method of claim 1, wherein said units are digitized units, said method further comprising using the computing system to support transactions of said units, including the transfer of said units between users of said computing system and recording data on said units and said transactions.

12

12. The method of claim 11, wherein said database includes the ledger, wherein the ledger is an electronic ledger, and wherein said computing system includes one or more graphical user interfaces for communication with holders of units, said method further comprising storing units information, with the computing system, on said electronic ledger.

13

13. The method of claim 11, wherein said database is a decentralized database structure, said method including storing unit information, with the computing system, on blockchain, and including storing said unit information on the ledger provided by said decentralized database.

14

14. The method of claim 2, wherein the NCWP includes removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

15

15. The method of claim 1, wherein said NCWP claim is associated with a removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

16

16. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving into the database an attestation of a validation of an NCWP claim, wherein said attestation of said validation increases a quantity of units that correspond with that NCWP claim relative to a quantity of units that would correspond with that NCWP claim absent said attestation and validation.

17

17. The method of claim 1, further comprising applying, with the computing system, discount factors to each NCWP claim, wherein said discount factors reduce a quantity of units that correspond with that NCWP claim.

18

18. A system for facilitating transacting tradeable units representing a noncommodifiable work product (“NCWP”), said system comprising: a database configured to receive and store NCWP claims from a plurality of users, the database comprising a processor, a non-transitory data storage, and computing instructions stored in the data storage, including computer instructions to instruct the processor to: determine quantities of units that correspond with NCWP claims, wherein said NCWP claims are associated with a removal of an atmospheric compound from the atmosphere; generate units such that each generated unit is equal to each other generated unit; provide a user exchange and facilitate transactions of the units amongst users within the user exchange; determine quantities of units to destroy in response to requests from users, destroy said determined quantities of units, and issue proofs of claim to said users, said proofs of claim representative of said destroyed quantities of units; and maintain a ledger within said database of said plurality of units, said ledger accounting for all generated units and all destroyed units.

19

19. The system of claim 18, wherein said NCWP claims include a removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

20

20. The system of claim 18, further comprising computer instructions to instruct the processor to receive attestation of validations of NCWP claims, and to increase a quantity of units that correspond with that NCWP claim in response to said attestation of said validation.

21

21. The system of claim 18, wherein said NCWP claims are associated with a removal of carbon from the atmosphere.

22

22. The method of claim 1, wherein said NCWP claim is associated with a removal of carbon from the atmosphere.
